Verdenshavene har aldri vært varmere i en juni-måned enn i år. Det viser ferske tall fra EUs overvåkingstjeneste Copernicus, skriver AFP.

Årsaken til ekstremvarmen er en kombinasjon av menneskeskapte klimaendringer og værfenomenet El Niño.

US says it struck Iranian military sites at the weekend, as Iran targets an airbase used by the US to attack southern Iran Good morning, Martin Belam here. I will be popping into your inbox writing First Thing regularly for the next little while. Here are today’s main stories … Is this the end of the ceasefire, then?
